Artificial Intelligence-Supported Knowledge Management and Its Relationship with Administrative Performance of Administrative Boards in Football Clubs of Wasit Governorate

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the level of artificial intelligence-supported knowledge management and its relationship with administrative performance among the administrative boards of football clubs in Wasit Governorate. To achieve the objectives, a comprehensive questionnaire consisting of 40 items was designed, distributed over two main dimensions: artificial intelligence-supported knowledge management and administrative performance. The questionnaire was administered to a sample of 65 administrative board members from 13 football clubs, with five members from each club. The study employed a descriptive-analytical approach and used statistical tools including arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and Pearson correlation coefficient to analyze the collected data. The results revealed that the level of artificial intelligence-supported knowledge management among administrative boards was high, and the administrative performance was also high. Furthermore, a strong positive relationship was found between artificial intelligence-supported knowledge management and administrative performance, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.78, statistically significant. Based on the findings, the study recommends enhancing the use of artificial intelligence-supported knowledge management in sports clubs, developing technological infrastructure, organizing training courses for administrative board members, and adopting modern information systems to support decision-making processes and improve administrative performance. This study highlights the importance of integrating technology and knowledge management in sports administration, as it contributes to improving administrative efficiency and achieving the clubs’ goals more effectively.
